13 - Pain & more Pain

Teresa groaned and huffed hearing a creek in her door. Now they decide to open it, she thought. When she's asleep.

She raised up, looking outside noticing how dark it was. She looked at her door, noticing it was cracked open and she got up from her bed, looking out. She looked down at herself and shrugged. It was dark so nobody would say anything about her in a short lingerie gown, it's not transparent.

Well a little.

She walked downstairs, disliking how quiet it was. She saw the light still on in Luciano's office meaning he was in there, but she decided not to say anything, she still hated him for locking her in her room.

She turned the lights on, opening the fridge and grabbed a bottle water and she closed the fridge, dropping the bottle, gasping as she came face to face with the end of a gun. They put their finger to their lips, shushing her and she panicked as someone grabbed her from behind, putting a handkerchief to her nose. "Luci-, she attempted to scream, yet the chloroform took in effect and she fell into their arms, the kidnapper, picking her up bridal style.

Luciano checked his phone." Are you ready?" Luciano questioned Adriano and he shook his head. "We shouldn't even be doing this" Adriano responded, causing Luciano to grin. "I know what's best Capo" Luciano took off his coat gently, and grabbing his gun as he sat in the car.

Teresa jolted awake awake, breathing heavily and turning her head frantically, but she couldn't see anything. They must have blind folded her. All her anxiety rushed to the surface and her heart thumped quickly, terrified of being kidnapped. She moved her hands, wincing as she felt the rope rub against her skin. She was tied.

"Help!" She cried out and heard sounds of boots on the floor and they got closer and closer. She obviously knew no one would hear her plea, but it was just an instinct to do when in a situation like that.
"I will do anything. Please. Don't kill me" She cried. Teresa could be as tough nails with anything else, but never when it was a life or death situation. She never faced a situation before, so she were terrified. She felt the sweat her fright produced and felt the tears trailing down her face from her cries.

"I have a mom who needs me. Please..." She begged, shaking her head. What did they want?
"Non è una nostra decisione principessa" (It's not our decision princess) A man spoke in Italian.

"I don't understand" She sobbed, sniffling. She heard the cocking of a gun and her breathing got louder, her chest heaving quicker only not being able to see frightened her even more. "If you want money I'll give it to you!" She yelled and they chuckled, making fun of her. " Oh I don't think that would be necessary princess" She heard and she felt the gun at her temple, and it only made her cry more.

" Any last words? " He asked and she shook her head, saying please. Please never works, but why not try anyway? She heard the sound of the trigger, but nothing came out and they all began laughing, but she cared less, she tried to calm herself down. If they didn't kill her, it meant they didn't have the authority to. Someone snatched off her blindfold and her vision began to surface as she looked around the room.

She was sure she looked a mess. Her face wet, her body covered in sweat in a slight transparent nightgown and her hair tousled.
"Boss wants to speak with you first princess"

She heard shoes against the floor and she turned to the direction it came from and her eyes squinted before they widened when she saw Luciano.

He did this?

He smiled as he walked towards her. " Ohh Tesoro, what happened to the bravery I saw yesterday" He crouched down in front of her and his mere face that had a satisfied grin on it, made her cry all over again. "Why?" She sobbed. He brushed her hair aside, "Ci sono cose molto peggiori della morte" He said.
"There are far worse things than death" He translated and she recognized those words from yesterday.
